The typical C# code seen does: try{ } catch(Exception exc){ } Best practices are to handle each type of exception that could occur separately, tools like Telerik JustBeans can/will soon autogenerate the exception possibilities. This brings me to the second aspect, the failure to use:

What is sad, is that tools like StyleFx do not support checking for this (when it is possible). I often seen magic-phrase strings being returned in code that I review, instead of the exception being allowed to bubble up the stack.
